Not even the Grinch can resist a little Christmas magic in July!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cook Children’s patients and families experienced holiday cheer this week with our annual \u201cChristmas in July\u201d festivities.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Santa visited Cook Children’s Medical Center \u2013 Prosper, where he delivered toys, shared smiles and surprised patients with news of being on the nice list!<\/p>\n

On Friday, Santa and the Grinch stopped by Cook Children’s Medical Center \u2013 Fort Worth. Patients picked out toys and created crafts, like Christmas cards and ornaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Cook Children’s, we are grateful for the\u00a0generosity of the community! Currently, we receive 70% of our annual in-kind donations in December.\u00a0However, because of this, we have gaps in our needs that often need fulfilling throughout the year. Our gaps include needs for specific age groups or high-demand items that go quickly.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0Child Life<\/a>\u00a0teams utilize in-kind donations every day, all day. From adding toys to playrooms, celebrating birthdays, offering comfort, providing distraction, and meeting basic needs, donations are the backbone of serving patients and families.<\/p>\n

If you would like to assist, you can view the\u00a0Christmas in July wish list here on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
